The Severed Head of Cyborg Michael Fassbender Keeps Dropping More Alien: Covenant Hints

We’ve seen a few titbits about what to expect from Ridley Scott’s Prometheus sequel, Alien: Covenant. The (cryptic) plot summary’s been out for awhile, along with the cast list, including Katherine Waterston as the lead. And now Prometheus’s only returnee, Michael Fassbender, has offered up some details on the film’s “used future” aesthetic.

Fassbender also noted that his character, android David — last seen as a disembodied head in the care of Noomi Rapace’s scientist, who’s not in Covenant — would be “back in a whole new way”. Whole way, as in a reconstructed synthetic being? Or whole new, like a talking head in a jar? Since all we’re getting at this point is remarks on how great the sets are, there’s no more elaboration. But he does agree that the character was and is “creepy”, so he’ll presumably still be more Ash than Bishop. [AVP Galaxy]
